DD/C
I bless you madly
BmBbD
Sadly as I tie my shoe
D/C
I love you badly
BmBbDD/C
Just in time, at times, I guess
BmBbDD/C
Because of you I need to rest
BmBbD
Because it's you that sets the test
EbBbm
So much has gone and little is new
BbmA
And as the sparrow sings
F#
Dawn chorus for
Bbm
Someone else to hear
BbmA
The thinker sits alone
F#Bbm
Growing older
Bbm
And so bitter
FBbm
I gave Them life, I gave Them all
CFm
They drained my very soul...dry
FBbm
I crushed my heart to ease Their pains
CFmAb
No thought for me remains there
BbmDb
Nothing can they spare
C
What of me?
AmF
Who praised Their efforts to be free?
GC
Words of strength and care and sympathy
AmF
I open doors that would have blocked their way
GC
I braved Their cause to guide for little pay
AmF
I ravaged at my finance just for Those
GC
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
AmF
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
GC
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me.''
**Instrumental: AmFGDD/C
I bless you madly
BmBbD
Sadly as I tie my shoe
D/C
I love you badly
BmBbDD/C
Just in time, at times, I guess
BmBbDD/C
Because of you I need to rest
BmBbD
Because it's you that sets the test
EbBbm
So much has gone and little is new
BbmA
And as the sunrise stream
F#Bbm
Flickers on me
BbmA
My friends talk of glory, untold dream
F#Bbm
Where all is God and God is just a word
FBbm
We had a friend, a talking man
CFm
Who spoke of many powers that he had
FBbm
Not of the best of men but Ours
CFmAb
We used him, We let him use his powers
BbmDb
We let him fill our needs
C
Now we are strong.
AmF
And the road is coming to its end
GC
Now the damned have not time to make amends
AmF
No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way
GC
The silent guns of love will blast the sky
AmF
We broke the ruptured structure build of age
GC
Our weapons were tongues of crying rage
AmF
Where money stood we planted seeds of rebirth
GC
And stabbed the backs of fathers, sons of dirt
Am
Infiltrated business cesspools
F
Hating through Our sleeves
G
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
C
Stoned the poor on slogans as:
C
-Wish You Could Hear-
Am
-Love Is All We Need-
Am
-Kick Out The Jams-
Am
-Kick Out Your Mother-
F
-Cut Up Your Friend-
G
-Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End-
CAm
And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
F
And We Can Force You to Be Free
GC
And We Can Force You to Believe.''
Am
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
F
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
G
For they Knew not the words of the Free States' refrain,
G
It said:
C
I Believe in the Power of Good
Am
I Believe in the State of Love
F
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
GC
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right.'
AmF
And I open my eyes to look around
G
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
CAm
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
FG
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
C
But not hearing anymore
AmF
Not hearing anymore
G
Just the shrieks from the old rich
C
And I Want to Believe
G
In the madness that calls 'Now'
C
And I Want to Believe
G
That a light is shining through somehow
Bb
And I Want to Believe
F
And You Want to Believe
C
And We Want to Believe
G
And We Want to Live
Ab
Oh, We Want to Live
Bb
We Want to Live
C
We Want to Live
**Marching-Type Beat Configuration Appears
